IMPROVEMENT IN ELECTRICAL GAS-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. l95, 58, dated September 18, 1877 application filed March 6, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD A. HILL, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electrical Gas-Burners, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my gas-burner, and Fig. 2 an enlarged transverse sectional view, taken at the line a; as, Fig. 1.

My invention consists in making the upper part A of the burner of a non-conducting material, and attaching thereto the electrical conductors, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the upper part of the burner, made of any well-known non-conducting material. I preferably make it of soapstone. It should be made of sufficient length and size to receive the attachments ofthe conducting-strips and support them. Bis a metal socket, which receives the non-oonductin g gas-burner A, and it also has an interior screw-thread, by which it is secured to the ordinary gas-fixtures. O are metal strips, to which the electrical Wires are attached, and which carry the points D, arranged over the burner for lighting the gas.

E are cylindrical-headed pins, which fast 11 the strips 0 to the non-conducting burners These pins extend radially into the burn and are inserted in holes which I drill in o the non-conducting burner when I use soa stone before the burner is hardened.

I make the burnerAlarge, as shown, 13 the points where the attaching-pins E are itserted.

By this construction of my electrical burn r Iain enabled to complete the burner, wi h the conducting-strips attached, and the poin s adjusted at the factory, so that any one WI 0 can attach a common burner to a gas-fixtu e can attach it. 4

Having thus described my invention, wh t I claim as new, and desire to secure by 11$;- ters Patent, is-

The burner-tip A, constructed of electric l non-conducting material, in combination wi h the independent conducting-plates G and se arate attaching-pins E, whereby the plat s are secured to the tip, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. EDWARD A. BILL? Witnesses: i
